OT: Re: Periodic rants on eBay

How about the original Macintosh that went for close to $1,000 because it was "signed on the inside of the case by all the original design team members"? "...credible source of pricing..." I'm sorry that any small comment made about eBay has to erupt into a worthless pro/con debate about it. I don't use eBay and wouldn't care if a big black hole suddenly formed where their servers are co-located. On the other hand, it is the only bright spot in a stock market filled with downward spiraling stock valuations (if you don't count Bayer and other companies that are set to benefit from the current state of chaos). We'll be able to happily consume other people's used crap at inflated prices while we pop Cipro and don gas masks that we were able to buy once we were cleared for entry into the stores with our new National ID cards.
